The process of selling a home can be complex, and the right agent will not only have the experience and market knowledge but also the right approach to guide you through every step.

By asking insightful questions, you can gauge an agent's expertise, communication style, and understanding of your goals, ultimately helping you choose someone who will work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
